RSpec Rails-specific analysis for your projects, as an extension to RuboCop.

This gem implicitly depends on the rubocop-rspec gem, so you should install it first. Just install the rubocop-rspec and rubocop-rspec_rails gem

gem install rubocop-rspec rubocop-rspec_rails

or if you use bundler put this in your Gemfile

gem 'rubocop-rspec', require: false
gem 'rubocop-rspec_rails', require: false

You need to tell RuboCop to load the RSpec Rails extension. There are three ways to do this:

Put this into your .rubocop.yml.

plugins: rubocop-rspec_rails

Alternatively, use the following array notation when specifying multiple extensions.

plugins:
  - rubocop-rspec
  - rubocop-rspec_rails

Now you can run rubocop and it will automatically load the RuboCop RSpec Rails cops together with the standard cops.

rubocop --plugin rubocop-rspec_rails

RuboCop::RakeTask.new do |task|
  task.plugins << 'rubocop-rspec_rails'
end

You can read more about RuboCop RSpec Rails in its official manual.

All cops are located under lib/rubocop/cop/rspec_rails, and contain examples/documentation.

In your .rubocop.yml, you may treat the RSpec Rails cops just like any other cop. For example:

RSpecRails/AvoidSetupHook:
  Exclude:
    - spec/my_poorly_named_spec_file.rb
